Welcome to Madeira & Porto Santo Enjoying an excellent year round climate, stunning scenery and superb quality hotels Madeira is the perfect holiday destination for those wanting to escape the stresses of everyday life. The people are friendly and there are few places where you would enjoy better or more courteous service. The Island of Eternal Springtime, Lovers’ Isle, Pearl of the Atlantic, Floating Garden of the Atlantic are just a few of the epithets awarded to Madeira, the 4
largest of the islands in the Madeiran Archipelago which also includes the sand and sea worshippers’ island of Porto Santo, and the uninhabited islands of the Selvagens and Desertas. Located 400 miles west of Morocco and 600 miles from the European mainland, the islands are located on similar latitudes to Bermuda and Los Angeles and enjoy a good year round climate.

Discover Madeira There are plenty of places to visit outside the bustling capital Funchal. Madeira boasts delightful botanical gardens and unspoilt landscapes, numerous levada trails, a nature reserve and forests, dramatic mountain ridges
and magnificent views from ocean cliffs, plus picturesque little villages and fishing ports, whilst, neighbouring Porto Santo boasts five miles of golden beaches and can be visited on a day trip from Madeira.
GETTING AROUND MADEIRA Although just a small island, Madeira seems much bigger due to its mountainous terrain. The island is extremely rugged and travellers should be prepared for long, winding roads full of twists and turns.

CHILD PRICES Many hotels offer substantial reductions and sometimes free stays to the first child (normally 2-11 years) when they share a room with two full fare paying passengers and relevant 7-night child prices are shown (contact us for alternative durations and additional child prices). Children enjoying reduced prices can only be accommodated where there is sufficient space and it may be that a child price can only be given in a superior or deluxe room or suite because the standard room can only accommodate two guests. Where there is sufficient space in a room for four occupants, a reduction may be available for a second child. Many child-friendly hotels offer reductions to older children and children staying in separate rooms (ie not sharing with an adult), and some hotels are willing to give discounts or even free stays to children sharing a room with one adult (normally under these circumstances the adult will pay the equivalent of a sole use supplement).

Carnivals & festivals The preference for festivals over work is perhaps nowhere so pronounced as on Madeira. In addition to the island’s four major festivals, Carnival, the Flower Festival, the Wine Festival, and its internationally renowned New Year’s Eve celebrations, the islanders have a busy schedule of public holidays, saints’ days, local parish festivals and small village celebrations. In fact, every town on Madeira and Porto Santo 20
enjoys an annual celebration, and although it's normally a Saint's Day, virtually any excuse will do! The biggest festivals include lots of dancing and parading, local live musicians - occasionally live bands even play a bit of contemporary rock - there are themed costumes, colourful traditional costumes, and sometimes the celebrations go on for several days . . .

Gardens & Levada walks Known as the Floating Garden of the Atlantic, Madeira is truly a paradise for garden and flora enthusiasts with an array of splendid gardens to discover, as well as an ecological park and forests including the Laurissilva Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island’s sub-tropical climate and moderate rainfall ensures an environment where lush vegetation prevails and exotic flowers bloom year round. 26
One of the best ways to fully appreciate Madeira’s spectacular scenery and varied topography is to explore the island's network of levada trails and there are organised walking tours for all levels of ability taking in some wonderful panoramic views and beautiful scenery.

PALHEIRO GARDENS Palheiro Gardens at Caminho da Quinta do Palheiro, Sao Goncalo, are arguably the most magnificent on the island.

Entrance fee: adults from €10.50, children free (open daily 9am to 4.30pm).

The Lakes of Madeira From forest trekking along unmarked routes to hiking up the oldest levada in the west of the island, this unusual levada walk has it all. The twelve kilometre walk takes just over four hours and passes by the magnificent waterfalls and deep valley terrain of the island’s western plateau. It is one of the most enjoyable walks that Madeira has to offer. Degree of difficulty: a moderately testing walk but worth the effort for a delightful Madeiran experience.

Sporting activities A multitude of land and sea based activities are on offer in Madeira, from a gentle swim and laze around the hotel pool to more active pursuits such as cycling, canyoning, horse riding and mountain climbing. One of the best ways to fully appreciate Madeira’s spectacular scenery and varied topography is to explore the islands web of levada trails, either on foot (see page 27) or by mountain bike. 28
With its mild year round water temperatures, crystal clear seas and great surf Madeira is ideal for a whole host of watersports including diving, sailing and surfing, and visiting whales and dolphins, together with excellent fishing grounds, certainly adds to the attraction of this island.

Sé do Cathedral, Funchal
Funchal Located on the south east coast of the island in a picturesque bay, Madeira’s capital, Funchal, lies between the deep blue of the ocean and the lush green of the mountains behind and most of our featured hotels are situated in or just above Funchal, close to everything this colourful working city has to offer.
Approximately half the island’s population lives in Funchal and the centre is especially busy where the 16th century streets attempt to cope with 21st century traffic! Most of the hotels are located west of the city centre at Funchal Lido; an important tourist area with shops, restaurants and cafes. The style is changing, however, with colonial mansions being converted into luxurious hotels although many enclaves and the port still retain an old fashioned feel mixed with the commercial buzz of its working environment. The port area provides a fabulous vantage point to gaze at the rich (and sometimes famous) as cruise ships moor up for their overnight stops.

THE CITY A short walk from the port is the old part of town, interesting to meander through during the day and excellent to visit in the evening when cafes and restaurants spill out onto the streets allowing you to enjoy al fresco dining. During the day the streets and old squares of Funchal are alive with flower sellers. With the blue sea in front, the greenery of the mountains behind, and the pavements a mass of vibrant colours of arum lilies, birds of paradise and amaryllis flowers, you can wander for hours. There is interesting 16th century architecture, a smattering of worthwhile museums and, if you love to shop, you can easily while away a morning or afternoon in the designer shops or at the local market which is well worth a visit as it is packed with local produce and heaps of freshly caught espada (scabbard fish). A ‘must do’ during your stay in Funchal is to travel up in the cable car to Monte. The journey takes 15 minutes and there are wonderful views on the way up and from the top. A fun outing at the top is to visit Quinta do Monte for a typical Madeiran drink ‘Poncha’, then with a light head, toboggan back on one of the infamous wooden sleds!

GETTING AROUND Funchal, as with many capital cities, can suffer from busy traffic at certain times of the day and in some areas traffic noise will be apparent. Car parking in the centre can sometimes prove difficult and many of our featured hotels in Funchal offer courtesy transport to and from the centre of the capital so saving visitors from the stresses of parking in the busy streets.

THE CASINO
NIGHTLIFE
FADO
The Casino da Madeira, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Funchal on the Avenida do Infante, offers slot machines on the ground level with gaming tables, black jack and roulette on the upper level. An admission fee is charged and you’ll need to take your passport with you if you wish to gamble on more than the slot machines. The Casino is also home to the Palm Bar, Copacabana night club, Rio Restaurant and the Bahia Restaurant which enjoys magnificent views over Funchal from the 4th floor. Shows are staged weekly with song and dance from Broadway and West End musicals.
Spending relaxed evenings dining in great restaurants is a favourite pastime (see pages 24 & 25). However, there are several night clubs in the centre of Funchal. The younger crowd head for Chameleon, located close to the Madeira Carlton. In the basement of the Casino is Copacabana, boasting a huge dance floor and a spacious stage, where live bands perform until late. Opposite the freight harbour, you’ll find Marginal and Jam, two smaller clubs where the music caters for all tastes. Vespas is Madeira’s largest club and very popular with a younger, local crowd, and for latin rythms seek out Gloria Latina, whilst Molhe is a night club, bar, terrace and restaurant all set in a 17th century fortress with fantastic views of the city.
Traditional Portuguese music is performed live in a number of clubs and restaurants and many of the hotels will host their own fado nights. Regular fado evenings are at Arsenio’s in the Rua de Santa Maria and Marcelino’s in the Travessa das Torres. Folk dancers are also a regular feature at hotels but the best folk dancers on the island are reputed to perform at the Café Relogio in Camacha.
CAFES, BARS & PUBS The young and the young at heart tend to head for the chic Café Teatro next to the Municipal Theatre, the Ritz Café opposite the Municipal Gardens and the Prince Albert Pub and Joe’s Bar, whilst the Golden Gate Café with its pavement tables is a popular spot for people-watching.

Porto Santo Island If it’s peace of mind and relaxation you require, the blue waters, golden beaches and calming ambiance of Porto Santo are sure to give you just that. The island is just seven miles by four and our featured hotel is delightfully situated on the island’s golden sandy beaches.
Porto Santo Island lies twenty-three miles to the north east of Madeira and is easily reached by a twenty minute flight from Funchal airport or a two hour ferry crossing from Funchal harbour. Although Porto Santo has a history of its own and still retains many fascinating vestiges of its past, it is the five mile ribbon of golden sand that provides the major attraction, although the sleepy capital of Vila Baleira and the tranquil lifestyle enjoyed all over the island are also reasons why visitors return year after year. This delightful island has remained largely undiscovered and with an indigenous population of just five thousand, you can be assured of a restful and peaceful time during your stay.
TWO CENTRE & TAILOR MADE HOLIDAYS Many of our guests choose to fly directly to Porto Santo via Funchal to start their relaxing break straight away, but two centre or fly drive holidays combining hotels on Madeira and Porto Santo Island can be easily arranged. Please note that sometimes an overnight stop on Madeira may be necessary before the transfer to Porto Santo dependent upon the time of arrival at Funchal airport. Our reservations team will advise arrival times and onward travel arrangements at the time of booking.

BEACHES & WATERSPORTS
ACTIVITIES & ATTRACTIONS
As well as revitalising your body by soaking up the sun on Porto Santo, the beach is renowned for its therapeutic properties, and for those with rheumatic aches and pains, the sands are believed to have a curative effect. The long beach is divided into several different areas each with its own name and character. Both Penedo beach, one of the best and less crowded, and Calheta beach, a mixture of rock pools and sandy dunes, are awarded blue flags. Cabeco beach is located directly in front of the island’s hotels which provide bar and restaurant services for this area; with a children’s kindergarten in the sand dunes. Fontinha beach is the one that Madeirans love the most for its fine sand and clear, calm water and Pedras Pretas is very popular with the locals. Watersports include sailing, jet skiing, canoeing, water skiing and deep-sea fishing at certain times of the year and the clear, unpolluted ocean gives exceptional underwater visibility, excellent for scuba diving and snorkelling.
Given that the island is so small it can be easily covered on foot and there are several interesting look-out points, amongst them, Pico das Flores, Pico do Facho and Pico do Castelo, commanding wonderful views over the island and out to sea. The Porto Santo Golf course offers two 18 hole courses and one 9 hole pitch and putt and also features 8 tennis courts and a horse-riding centre, whilst the Vila Baleira Thalassa hotel has a thalassotherapy centre (open to non residents) with a variety of treatments and cures. The capital ‘town’ and the island’s only settlement of any notable size, Vila Baleira, is home to a small market on the Rua Joao Goncalves Zarco, a small town hall and a church, Nossa Senora da Piedade, originally founded in the 15th century. Porto Santo’s main claim to fame is its links to Christopher Columbus. Although there is no evidence that Porto Santo was ever his home, it is claimed that Columbus and his wife lived in Vila Baleira for about two years around 1480 and that Columbus’ son, Diego, was born on Porto Santo. Casa de Colombo is a 15th century property built of rough-hewn stone which now houses maps, paintings, engravings and details of Columbus’ life.
WHEN TO GO With average daily temperatures between 19˚C and 26˚C the climate is stable and dry with little change from season to season so sunbathing and swimming is pleasant all year round.

CLASSIC BOOKING CONDITIONS Our commitment to you
1. Provision of your holiday We will arrange for the provision to you of the services which make up the inclusive holiday as confirmed to you. These services will be provided either directly by us or by independently contracted suppliers. When you, or your travel agent ask for your holiday booking to be confirmed, we allocate your chosen holiday to you and give confirmation of the booking at that moment. It is then that a firm contract exists between you and Classic Collection Holidays Limited (Registered in England no. 1512421) on the basis of this brochure. This also acts as your acceptance of our booking conditions and your holiday is secured from that moment. If your holiday includes flight arrangements, you will be issued with an ATOL certificate immediately and we will later send you or your travel agent a holiday confirmation invoice verifying the details and prices of the holiday that you have already booked, which in most cases will have been confirmed by telephone. All holidays and offers advertised in this brochure are subject to availability. 2. Your holiday price A. When you book All prices, supplements and offers shown in this brochure are based on costs at time of printing (10 April 2015) although we reserve the right to amend all prices, supplements and offers (up or down) when we receive notification of new costs. Some hotels intentionally practice fluid pricing which means that their costs (reflected in our prices) may significantly increase during periods of high demand. This may affect the hotel’s standard room prices although the most significant changes will be noticed when booking superior room types. Prices in this brochure include airline rates applicable at the time of printing and although these rates will generally be available for the validity of the brochure, occasionally during periods of excess demand, when the relevant class is unavailable, we will book the next available fare class which may result in you paying a higher price than that promoted in this brochure. The government charges a levy to cover financial protection in the event of an airline failure and we automatically add this to your invoice total at the booking stage. Once you have confirmed your holiday booking, the price is protected subject to clause 2D of these booking conditions. Please note that not all hotel features detailed are complimentary, and some are subject to seasonal demand. B. VAT and Exchange rates Our VAT Registration number is 503 944 749 and all prices quoted in this brochure include VAT where relevant (at 20% at time of going to press). The brochure prices of holidays were calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 18 March 2015 in relation to the following currencies: Euro 1.3804, US Dollar 1.4641. Please note a) these rates are not comparable with note or tourist rates which are quoted in national newspapers b) hotel costs, transfers, resort representation, excursions, local taxes and part of the flight cost are typically paid in the currency of your holiday destination country. Aviation fuel is paid in US Dollars. All of these costs are affected by changes in the cost of buying foreign currency, as per exchange rates listed above. We reserve the right to increase our prices in accordance with these booking conditions. C. Price Promise If you can find the same flight inclusive holiday at a cheaper price at the time that you book, we undertake to match the price and will give an additional £10 per adult saving off any competitor’s price. In order to take advantage of our Price Promise, the component parts of the relevant holiday must be identical and we reserve the right to request confirmation in writing of the relevant competitor’s holiday price. Our Price Promise cannot be actioned retrospectively after a booking has been made, and it is only available on new bookings made during the validity of this brochure. Unfortunately we cannot always match prices where we believe our competitors have made a pricing error or where they are offering the holiday arrangements at a price below their operating costs. If a competitor’s price is greater than £150 per adult and/or £50 per child below our price, we deem one of these two scenarios to be true and will not honour our Price Promise. D. Surcharges (after booking) Once you have booked, the price of your holiday travel arrangements may be varied due to changes in transportation costs such as fuel, scheduled airfares and any other airline cost changes which are part of the contract between airlines (and their agents) and the tour operator or organiser, and also in respect of government action such as changes in VAT or any other government imposed changes. In the case of any small variation, an amount equivalent to 2% of the price of your travel arrangements, and any amendment charges, will be absorbed or retained. For larger variations, this 2% will still be absorbed for increases but not retained from refunds. In either case there will be an administration charge of £1 per person together with an amount to cover agent’s commission.

www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288
In the unlikely event that this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 10% of the price of your holiday travel arrangements, you may cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid, except for any amendment charges. Should you decide to cancel for this reason, you must exercise your right to do so within 14 days from the issue date printed on your final invoice. 3. If your booking is changed It is unlikely that your booking will have to be changed, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance, therefore we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes are very minor, but where they are major, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. A major change is one that is made to a major part of your holiday arrangements before departure, such as a change of your departure airport (except between London airports), resort area or time of departure or return by more than twelve hours, or offering accommodation with a lower category rating. If we have to make a major change you have the choice of the following: A accepting the changed arrangements as notified to you, B purchasing another available holiday from us, or C cancelling your holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid. Additionally, if we make a major change after you have paid the full balance of your holiday and you accept A, B or C you will be entitled to compensation on the scale shown below. Period before scheduled departure Compensation within which a major change is per adult notified to you or your travel agent: More than 56 days Nil 43-56 days £20 29-42 days £30 15-28 days £40 0-14 days £50 Important note Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by reason of war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, or other circumstances that may amount to force majeure. 4. If your holiday is cancelled We reserve the right in any circumstance to cancel your holiday and, in this event, we will return to you all money you have paid us or will offer you an alternative holiday of comparable standard to purchase. In no case, except for those beyond our control, will your holiday be cancelled after the balance is paid and in such cases compensation will be paid per clause 3. 5. What happens to complaints Disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this contract which cannot be settled amicably may be referred to arbitration if the customer so wishes, under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA). The ABTA scheme provides for a relatively simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer with regards to cost. Under the scheme, customers must pursue their claim within 12 months of the date of return from their holiday. (Outside this time limit, arbitration under the scheme may still be available if the Company agrees, although the ABTA scheme does not require such agreement). The scheme does not apply to claims for amounts greater than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking, neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. However, the scheme can deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a per person limit of £1,000 on the personal injury or illness element of the claim. Full details can be provided by us, or can be obtained from ABTA at www.abta.com. 6. Our responsibility for your holiday We accept responsibility for ensuring that all component parts of the inclusive holiday, limited to items included on confirmation invoice are supplied to you as described in this brochure and to a reasonable standard. If any such part is not provided to your satisfaction due to the fault of our employees, agents, or suppliers, we will pay you appropriate compensation if this has affected the enjoyment of your holiday (see Important note in paragraph 3 above). Our liability in this respect is limited to a maximum of three times the value of the holiday. We must ask you however, to be patient and understanding in the event of unforeseen alterations to your holiday made by our suppliers over whom we have no direct control. 7. Excursions (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) Excursions or other tours that you may choose to book or pay for whilst you are on holiday are not part of the holiday provided by us. For any excursion or other tour that you book, your contract is with the operator of the excursion or tour and not with us and we are not responsible for the provision of the excursion or tour or for anything that happens during the course of its provision.
any airport I any airline I any day & duration
8. Personal Injury (whilst participating in arrangements made by us) We have taken all reasonable and proper steps to ensure that proper arrangements have been made for all the holidays which are advertised in this brochure and that the suppliers of the various services which will be provided to you as part of the inclusive holiday are efficient, safe and reputable businesses, and that they comply with the local and national laws and regulations of the country in which they provide those services. We have no direct control over the provision of services to customers by suppliers. However, subject to the Notes below, we will pay to our customers the equivalent of such damages as they would be entitled to receive under English law in an English Court for any personal injury to the customer, including illness or death, caused by the negligence, as understood in English Law, of the servants or agents of ourselves or of any of our suppliers contracted or sub-contracted by us to provide any part of the arrangements for your holiday as described in this brochure. With regard to any relevant international convention for example, the Montreal Convention in respect of travel by air, the Athens Convention in respect of travel by sea, the Berne Convention in respect of travel by rail, and the Paris Convention in respect of the provision of accommodation, which limit the amount of compensation that you can claim for death, injury, delay to passengers and loss, damage and delay to luggage, we are to be regarded as having all benefit of any limitation of compensation contained in these or any conventions. Copies of these can be made available on request. Air Passenger Rights Under EU law you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/ or compensation from your airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. However reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday cost from us. Your right to a refund and/or compensation from us is set out in paragraph 3. If your airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Air Transport Users’ Council on 020 7240 6061 www.auc.org.uk 9. Personal Injury (Unconnected with travel arrangements made by us) If you, or any member of your party, suffer death, illness or injury whilst overseas arising out of an activity which does not form part of your holiday arrangements or an excursion arranged through us, we shall at our discretion, offer advice, guidance and assistance. Where legal action is contemplated and you want our assistance, you must obtain our written consent prior to commencement of proceedings. Our consent will be given subject to you undertaking to assign any costs or benefits received, under any relevant insurance policy to ourselves. We limit the cost of our assistance to you or any member of your party to £5,000. Under your travel insurance cover, you must make an insurance claim under the legal expenses section in respect of any legal fees incurred abroad for that purpose. Notes in respect of paragraphs 8 & 9 We would request that you (a) notify us of any claim for personal injury within 2 months of your return from holiday; (b) assign to Classic Collection Holidays any rights against a supplier or any other person or party you may have relating to the claim; and (c) agree to co-operate fully with us should our insurers wish to enforce those rights. This assignment is necessary to enable us to try to recover from suppliers any compensation paid to customers and associated costs as a result of personal injury to customers caused by the negligence of those suppliers. It is not our wish to profit from such assignment, and in the unlikely event of our recovering more than such compensation and costs, any excess will be paid to the injured customers.
Your commitment to Classic Collection Holidays
1. Your holiday contract As soon as your holiday booking is confirmed, you must sign a booking form accepting our booking conditions. Your contract is made on the terms of these booking conditions which are governed by English law and the jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may however choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. Any disputes arising will be heard in the English Courts unless you prefer the courts of Scotland or Northern Ireland. 2. Payment for the holiday You pay a deposit of £150 per person (or an agreed sum to cover non-refundable flight seats and/or hotel costs) when you book. This is your commitment until 8 weeks before departure when your final balance is due. You must pay the balance at least 8 weeks before departure. For bookings within 8 weeks of departure, full payment is required at time of booking. If payment is not received as above, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and your deposit/s would be forfeited. If you pay money for your holiday to an ABTA travel agent, they will hold that money as our agent from the time they receive it until they pay the money to us. All credit card payments incur a charge (1% at time of printing but subject to change)
www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288
3. If you change your booking If you want to change any details of your booking (eg transfer to a different holiday, departure date or airport), we will do our best to help as soon as we receive your request in writing. We charge an amendment fee of £25 per person named on the booking form for each detail of the booking changed and, in addition to the amendment fee, we will charge for any additional costs we incur in making the amendment/s. Please note that it is highly likely that amendment costs will increase the closer the change is made to your departure date. IMPORTANT Some travel arrangements (eg flight tickets purchased specifically from certain airlines and certain hotel bookings) may not be refundable or transferable after a reservation has been made and any alteration request may incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that particular part of the holiday arrangements. Where the price varies depending on the number of persons travelling and the numbers are amended, the price will be recharged on the basis of the new party size. Any increase in price per person payable as a result of a part cancellation is not a cancellation charge and will not normally be covered by your chosen insurance. A separate cancellation charge will be levied in respect of bookings cancelled in accordance with paragraph 4 below. A new confirmation invoice will be issued as appropriate on which the cancellation charges will be shown. 4. If you cancel your booking You or any member of your party may cancel your booking, or part of it, once it has been confirmed, but the instructions will only be valid if in writing and signed by the person who confirmed the booking. Your written instructions should go either to the travel agent you booked with, asking them to notify us immediately, or if you booked direct, to our address. To compensate us for the expense of processing your booking, payment of cancellation fees are on the scale shown. The amount payable depends on when we receive your written instructions. Period before scheduled departure within which written holiday instructions are received by us
Amount of cancellation charge (shown as a % of total price)
More than 56 days 43-56 days 29-42 days 15-28 days 8-14 days 7 days or fewer
Deposit/initial payment 30% or deposit if greater 50% or deposit if greater 70% or deposit if greater 90% or deposit if greater 100%
5. If you have a complaint If you have a complaint about your holiday please refer the matter to the supplier immediately (airline, hotel, car hire etc). If further assistance is required our agent/ representative in resort should be contacted. Matters can most easily be resolved for you on the spot, when the supplier can see and understand the exact nature of any problems you have. It is unreasonable to take no action whilst on holiday, then complain afterwards. In the unlikely event that matters cannot be resolved to your satisfaction our agent/representative will ask you to record details on a holiday report form of which you will be given a copy, and you must then follow up your report by writing to our Customer Services Department within 28 days of returning from resort. 6. Holiday participation We reserve the right to decline to accept or retain any person as a customer if their conduct is disruptive and affects the enjoyment of other holidaymakers, and we shall be under no liability for any extra costs incurred by such a person as a result of our doing so. Aircraft captains are legally entitled to deny boarding to any passenger presenting themselves at the aircraft who, at the captain’s absolute discretion, are unacceptably under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Any passenger who is denied boarding on the outbound flight for that reason, shall be deemed to have given notice of cancellation of his/her booking at that moment, and cancellation charges will apply in accordance with paragraph 4. 7. Your accommodation The accommodation provided is only for the use of passengers shown on the confirmation invoice as confirmed by us; subletting, sharing or assignment is prohibited. 8. Your travel ticket conditions When you travel with an air or sea carrier, their conditions of carriage apply, some of which limit liability. These conditions are often the subject of international agreements between countries, and copies of the conditions which apply are available for inspection at the travel agent where you book your holiday. 9. Data Protection Act Classic Collection Holidays is registered under the Data Protection Act 1998 and will deal with all personal data you provide to us in accordance therewith. It is necessary for us to pass on your personal data to airlines, hotels, transportation companies, insurers and other agents in order to arrange the holiday you require. By making a booking or a booking enquiry with Classic Collection Holidays you have consented to allow the passing on of such data as we determine necessary for that purpose. Under the Data Protection Act, you have the right to inspect any relevant personal information held by us.

HOLIDAY INFORMATION
Hotel facilities normally incur a charge eg sun loungers, tennis, squash, mini-golf, pool table, watersports, entry to disco/nightclub, use of fitness/leisure and spa facilities, children’s clubs, cots, safety deposit boxes and car parking.
MAKING A BOOKING
Check in/out & duration of holiday On arrival at hotels, check in time is normally 4pm and check out 12 noon. Most hotels can provide luggage storage and changing room facilities if you arrive earlier or stay later, and you may be able to pay locally for a late check out from your room. The number of nights on your confirmation invoice refers to the number of nights reserved for you in your hotel. If you arrive very late at night or in the early hours of the morning, your accommodation is immediately available as it will have been reserved for the whole night and this will count as one of your holiday nights.
Our experienced team can give you the name of our appointed travel agent in your area and will help you choose a suitable holiday and make a reservation on your behalf. If you book through a travel agent, they will check details and availability with us and if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays. If you make a booking directly with us, we will discuss and confirm the details of the holiday with you and, if you accept these as satisfactory, a formal contract will exist between you and Classic Collection Holidays and your credit card details will be taken at that time. In either event, you must sign the completed booking form and pay the appropriate initial payment or, if within 8 weeks of departure, the full holiday price. The booking form (downloadable from our website) and payment must reach us within 4 working days of the booking being confirmed and we reserve the right to cancel the booking and apply full cancellation charges if they are not received within this time. Late bookings made within 8 weeks of departure require that the total balance is paid immediately. Normal cancellation charges apply to late bookings should you subsequently cancel. Recommendations can be made by our team although the final decision as to hotel and resort suitability is ultimately your choice and we cannot be held liable for our suggestions. Please note that for staff training purposes, telephone calls may be monitored and/or recorded. Special requests such as adjoining rooms, dietary requirements etc, should be detailed under Special requests on the booking form. We will inform the property management and/or carrier of your requirements but we cannot guarantee that these will be met. Where additional local costs are involved, payment should be made directly to the supplier. If you have a disability or suffer mobility difficulties, please complete our Special Needs Checklist before we confirm your booking. You may wish to research the suitability of your chosen property with Tourism for All 0845 124 9971/73 www.tourismforall.org.uk
Dress code Due to the sophisticated nature of many of our hotel restaurants, shorts and t-shirts are unacceptable for evening dining and slightly more formal attire is recommended.
Vaccinations & health requirements In some countries it is wise, and sometimes obligatory, to have certain vaccinations. As regulations frequently change you should check with your GP’s surgery or www.nathnac.org/travel for up to date information.
Children & infants Some children’s prices are detailed on our hotel pages but owing to space restrictions, we cannot detail all relevant prices and you should contact our reservations department for specific prices. To take advantage of children’s prices, a child must normally be aged 2-11 years at the date of return and must share a room with two adults or full fare paying passengers, although some hotels offer special reductions for a second child sharing the room, or for older children, or for a child travelling with one adult, or where children share an interconnecting room. Children paying child prices can normally benefit from reduced half board supplements (when booking same board basis as adults) and will not normally be charged room supplements although if these are payable, relevant prices will be advised at time of booking. Normally children staying in their own room will be charged as full fare paying passengers including relevant room and half board supplements. Please note that where children’s reductions are relevant, their date of birth and age on the date of return from holiday must be advised on the booking form. Infants (under two years of age at date of return) pay a charge to cover our administration costs and additional charges may be levied for certain flights, inter-island connections or business class cabins. Hotels will charge locally for food and cots. Please note that the regulations applied to the manufacture of cots in other countries are not as high as those in the UK and may not conform to British safety standards. Also please note that the date of birth and age of infants on return from holiday must be advised on the booking form.
Travel documentation Your flight tickets including e-ticket information and holiday itinerary will normally be dispatched approximately 10 days prior to departure although very late booking confirmations and e-ticket details may be forwarded by email only.
Child seats Although we can request child seats for private transfers in resort, they cannot always be guaranteed and in such cases we suggest that you bring your own (see complimentary BubbleBum offer page 13).
UK airport charges To cover the cost of development or improvement works, some UK airports charge an airport improvement fee which is payable within the relevant check-in area. For example, at Norwich International Airport a development fee of £10 per adult (16 years+) is payable.
Babysitting arrangements are available at many properties although the service will vary and the sitter may not remain in the room with the child. If you wish to use a babysitting service, you must arrange and pay for it locally with the sitter who is frequently a member of the hotel staff not qualified in child care.
OUR BROCHURE & HOLIDAY DETAILS
Health & safety All our properties are checked regularly for compliance in respect of local regulations. However, guests must exercise caution particularly with regard to fire safety, swimming pools, balconies, lifts etc, where compliance may not be equal to British standards.
BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
Passports, visas & travel advice Your passport, visa and immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa or immigration requirements. For British Citizens, a full ten-year passport is required for travel and it is recommended that your passport is valid for six months from your return date to the UK. Children under 16 must hold their own five-year passport. Contact the UK Passport Agency 0870 521 0410 or www.gov.uk/browse/abroad/ passports for details. Please note that your name and initials on your flight tickets/ documentation must match those on your passport. For up to date Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice on the countries you are visiting, see www.gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice
Brochure accuracy This brochure was printed on 10 April 2015. Details are valid for departures from 1 May 2015 to 30 April 2016 or until publication of any revised edition, or you are notified otherwise by your travel agent or our reservations staff. All the facts in this brochure are re-checked for accuracy by our staff and, where possible, our hoteliers, although of course it is always feasible, especially in low season, that facilities may be unavailable as hotels, especially those which are open all year round, will require maintenance (eg pools), redecoration and refurbishment. Service within hotels may change from time to time eg dining changes from traditional waiter service to buffet style. Such events are regrettably beyond our control although we will alert you to significant changes at time of booking, or if you have already booked, we will contact you as soon as is reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. Hotel details We are happy to advise hotel web addresses, but cannot accept responsibility for their accuracy. Room types and upgrades Single rooms normally carry a supplement which is for the convenience of having a room to yourself and location/facilities may be inferior to that of a twin room. In family rooms and twin or double rooms that take additional beds, do note that the extra bed/s could be of a folding or convertible sofa type and beds for children may not be full adult-sized singles. When additional beds are put in a room, floor space will be reduced and cupboard access may be limited. Junior suites normally have a sitting area, and suites have a sitting area or separate sitting room. Ocean or sea view rooms enjoy views of the ocean/sea although foliage, buildings etc may sometimes interupt a full view. Ocean facing or sea facing rooms will face the ocean/sea but will normally be on lower floors where the view of the ocean/sea may be obscured through gardens/trees etc. Side ocean view or side sea view rooms offer a restricted view of the ocean. Room upgrade supplements are normally detailed on the hotel pages, but occasionally you may see the phrase on request which means that we will have to contact the hotel for up-to-date prices.
100% FINANCIAL PROTECTION
All the ex-UK flight inclusive holidays within this brochure are financially protected by the ATOL scheme under ATOL number 5837. When you pay you will be supplied with an ATOL certificate (for further information about financial protection please see our booking conditions and www.atol.org.uk). For holidays and travel arrangements which do not include travel by air, your financial protection is administered by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) under membership number W5429. In the unlikely event of our insolvency, the CAA and/or ABTA will ensure that you are not stranded abroad and will arrange to refund any money you have paid to us for an advance booking. ABTA members help holidaymakers get the most from their travel arrangements, and assist them in the unlikely event that things do not go according to plan. Under ABTA’s Code of Conduct, we maintain a high standard of service to our customers. For further information about ABTA, the Code of Conduct, and the arbitration scheme, contact ABTA tel 0207 637 2444 or www.abta.com
74
Meal arrangements Full board normally consists of breakfast (usually continental buffet style), lunch and dinner; half board is breakfast and dinner. Full board or half board arrangements, as indicated in the hotel descriptions, are generally served in the main dining room and are based on a standard table d’hote menu although this normally includes a choice of dishes. Many hotels offer buffet style meals and some a combination of waiter and buffet service. A full a la carte menu is available for an extra cost in most of our hotels and customers should note that when half or full board is offered as a la carte dining, exclusions such as lobster, prawns etc may be available for a local supplement.

CLASSIC flights & car hire Choice of flights We know that our customers like to fly from a local airport that is convenient to them and because we tailor-make every holiday to suit you, we are able to book scheduled, charter or no frills flights from a wide range of UK airports. Please call our reservations team for further details regarding the services provided by different airlines. Scheduled airlines These offer high frequency and often daily services to our destinations which allows you the luxury of choosing your departure day and holiday duration. Scheduled flights provide a high level of service and comfort, normally with generous legroom (typical seat pitch 31 inches), punctuality, meals relevant to the time of day, plus complimentary bar and in-flight entertainment. Scheduled services also give you the chance to upgrade to business and first class cabins. Classic Collection Holidays offers flights with all scheduled carriers. British Airways Many of our destinations are served by British Airways, and we are pleased to boast Appointed Operator status with this airline that continues to be a favourite with Classic customers. Two cabin options are available: Euro Traveller and Club Europe. British Airways’ Euro Traveller passengers in the main cabin enjoy the highest standards expected of British Airways including generous legroom and increased seat pitch, meals and snacks relevant to the time of day and flight duration and complimentary drinks (wine, beer and spirits). One bag (maximum weight 23kg) per person is included in our prices. Upgrades British Airways’ flights offer a choice of cabin options dependent upon the route. Club Europe benefits include generous legroom and increased seat pitch, meals and snacks relevant to the time of day and flight duration, complimentary drinks (wine, beer and spirits), dedicated check-in desks and the use of airport lounge facilities. Club Europe passengers also enjoy an increased luggage allowance and two bags (each weighing a maximum of 23kg) per person is included in our prices. Domestic flight connections via London So that our customers can take advantage of the flexibility and reliability of scheduled flights from London, we are pleased to offer domestic flights from all UK airports. No frills flights Often referred to as low cost airlines, these flights do not provide complimentary in-flight drinks, meals, or entertainment and seats are not normally allocated prior to boarding although families with young children are given priority boarding status. Prices vary dependent upon travel dates and when you book. We can easily include a no frills flight from your local airport, but if you wish to book your own no frills flight we are happy to book the rest of the holiday for you.
Sustainability We contribute annually to The Travel Foundation to offset emissions from our staff flights. See www.thetravelfoundation. org.uk for travel lottery and sustainability details.
Classic car hire Often the best way to explore is by car and we can book a hire car for you in most of our destinations. We can easily book a car for any duration with a choice of vehicle including family saloons, cabriolets, people-movers, four-wheel drives, and sports cars. We have included some guide prices below, but simply let us know the type of car you would like to hire and we will ensure that we get the best possible price for you at the time you book your holiday. Group A (Nissan Micra or similar) 3 days from £89 & 7 days from £175 Car hire terms and conditions Our hire car terms normally include unlimited mileage, government tax, CDW and insurance. A UK driving licence, passport and car rental contract are minimum driving requirements, and in order to hire a car, you must have at least two years’ driving experience and be at least 25 years of age (normal maximum 75 years of age). Please note that the types of car may vary within each group and delivery and/or collection charges may apply in some resort areas. Child seats and additional drivers can be booked with us although extra relevant charges will be payable locally. Normally a petrol deposit will be payable on collection of your hire car.

Charter flights Through a range of charter airline partners, we are delighted to offer a choice of direct flights from many UK airports. These flights may restrict your holiday duration to 7 or 14 nights, but we know that to fly direct to your holiday destination from your local airport is normally preferable.
Private jets Together with travel industry partner, FHR, Classic Collection Holidays enjoys a partnership with a fully licensed airline company which specialises in the provision of private executive aircraft. For total flexibility, privacy and convenience, we can charter a private aircraft giving you the ability to create your own holiday timetable to any of our destinations. You can choose the aircraft type, the seating arrangements, the level of service, your departure airport and the flight timings that suit you best.
Flights may be on scheduled, charter or no frills airlines on a daily or weekly basis although some routes may not operate for the entire year. Flight durations from the UK to Madeira and Porto Santo range between 3 hrs 20 to 4 hrs 30 and we will be pleased to discuss specific timings and various options at the time of booking. Business class seats are available on selected scheduled services, and premium, extra legroom seats and speedy boarding can be booked when available with relevant airlines.
